The 2013 EE British Academy Film Awards took place tonight in a rain-drenched London, but even the best efforts of Mother Nature couldn't dampen the spirits of Ben Affleck and the Argo team as they took Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing.
The biggest winner, numerically, was Les Miserables, which took four awards for Supporting Actress, Production Design, Sound and Make-Up & Hair. Skyfall took two awards with Outstanding British Film and Original Music, while Django Unchained took Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay.
Unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-Lewis took Best Actor for Lincoln with the night's most self-deprecating speech, poking fun at his own Method reputation, while in a more surprising turn Emmanuelle Riva took Best Actress for Amour, which also took Film Not In The English Language.
Life Of Pi took Cinematography and Special Visual Effects, and David O. Russell took Adapted Screenplay for Silver Linings Playbook. The Animation went to Brave.
Searching For Sugar Man won the Documentary prize, but the Outstanding Debut... award went to The Imposter's Bart Layton and Dimitri Doganis. The Short Film prize went to **Swimmer ** and Short Animation went to The Making Of Longbird.
In other words, it was one of the most equitably-shared awards in years. Even though Argo won the biggest prizes, it by no means swept the board. You can read all about the ceremony and red carpet in our minute-by-minute account here, but this will go down as a year when BAFTA honoured everything from European auteurdom with Amour to high-tech dazzle with Life of Pi to the action of Bond in Skyfall. That a classy spy film won the prize, an American president took Leading Actor and an 85 year-old landed Leading Actress is a testament to the inclusiveness of the BAFTAs this year - and we think that's rather a good result.
